Foreword to report on the Leadership of the Future

For nearly 30 years Hammer & Hanborg have worked based on a vision that we want to be part of creating the Professional Life of the Future. We do this by helping our customers with everything from recruitment and interim staff to development of culture and leadership. We also do it by continually gathering knowledge that gives us a picture of how working life changes in relation to developments in the wider world. This is how we work in order to discern the shape of future working life.

This time we have chosen a new approach. Instead of starting with our own survey, we have analysed enormous quantities of data and codified the latest research on the leadership of the future. The authors of the report and analysis are Peter Majanen and Lars Harefjord of Quattroporte AB based on an assignment from Hammer & Hanborg and Jurek. You will find the results in this report. During the spring of 2023 we will follow-up with our own survey to see how far Nordic organisations have come on the journey towards the leadership of the future.
